[Qing Chuan + Red House] Lin's eldest daughter

Although she went there after only being a queen for one day, she was officially canonized, not posthumously consecrated, so this funeral is also a formal national mourning. The entire palace was filled with the exception of the emperor and the queen mother. , other up to princes, princesses, concubines, down to all court ladies and eunuchs must wear filial piety, royal family members and court wives have to go to the palace to cry every day, and all civil and military officials in the Manchu and Han Dynasties are not allowed to shave their heads or marry within a hundred days If you marry, you are not allowed to hold a banquet.

Although ordinary folks don't have to wear hemp and filial piety, they have to stop marrying and stop playing music. The brothels, music workshops and other romantic places can't even open their doors. There is no food to eat, but no one dares to jump up and down. Otherwise, if they are found out and reported to the government, their heads will fall.

The whole capital city seemed to be quiet in an instant, and the people coming and going on the street even spontaneously changed out of their brightly colored clothes and jewelry, and they didn't even dare to smile... There was no such mandatory requirement from the imperial court, but it was true. Wanton laughter is also a disaster. Although it is a bit of an overkill, the common people are more afraid of causing trouble.

The sisters of the Lin family only met Empress Xiaoyiren a few times, but Siqi and his sincere love made her weeping. She cried a few times, and then knelt in front of the Buddha statue and recited scriptures for two hours every day. Until the 49th day of July [-]th, just in time for the Chinese New Year, the two sisters took advantage of the opportunity to push the Jia family's invitation.

Mother Jia was quite upset about this, but she couldn't say anything, so she had to give up, and she couldn't find an opera troupe to have fun like in previous years. At most, it was just a family reunion dinner together, which was boring. Damn, the old lady became more and more lethargic, and she took a rest early after dinner.

Years later, as the coffin of Empress Xiao Yiren was sent to the underground palace, the capital gradually returned to bustling.

"Old ancestor, old ancestor!" Everyone in the room was talking, when they saw Jia Baoyu rushing in like a small cannonball. After seeing the ceremony hastily, he plunged into Jia Mu's arms and twisted, "Old man Ancestor, I want to go to Dabaoen Temple."

Mother Jia hugged him lovingly, "Do you want to see your two cousins?"

Jia Baoyu nodded and said: "Sister Lin and Sister Lin went to pray for Empress Xiaoyiren, but now that Empress Xiaoyiren is gone, they should come back. Go pick them up."

Mrs. Wang reprimanded lightly: "Nonsense, it's so cold outside, you have suffered such a serious injury before and haven't healed well, what if you catch the cold again?" Worried about her son is one of them, the most important thing is her I can't see that my precious son values ​​the Lin family sisters.

"What your mother said is very true." Mother Jia touched his face lovingly and said, "You are still very weak. Although there is no wind and snow outside today, it is even colder. Why go out and suffer? You are only at home." Just wait, I'll tell your second sister-in-law to work hard."

Wang Xifeng: "..." Co-authoring the precious phoenix egg can't suffer, so she is inferior to him?

The smile on Wang Xifeng's face froze for a moment, and when she was about to speak, a woman walked in with a happy face.

"Old lady, my uncle has returned to Beijing! He has already entered the Lin family's mansion, and he said that he will come to greet the old lady tomorrow."

Jia Mu was stunned, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, and then her face became gloomy.

Her son-in-law has returned to Beijing, and she, the mother-in-law, is the last to know about it?The son-in-law didn't tell her beforehand, nor did the granddaughter tell her, the news didn't arrive until everyone arrived in the capital, did you still see her?

The old woman was waiting for a reward, but the old lady's reaction was far beyond her expectation. Seeing that her face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, she immediately shrank her neck and didn't dare to speak.

Seeing the old lady's expression, the others didn't know how to react to the news, but Jia Baoyu looked innocent and curious.

"Are you talking about Uncle Lin?"

Mother Jia restrained her gloomy expression slightly, nodded, "Exactly."

"That's great. Sister Lin and Sister Lin haven't seen Uncle for a long time. I must have missed my uncle terribly. Now that father and daughter are reunited, it's great." Jia Baoyu was overjoyed, and then thought of something. The smiling face suddenly stopped, "No, no, since Uncle Lin has returned to the capital, wouldn't Sister Lin and Sister Lin go home to live in the future?"

Wang Xifeng pursed her lips and smiled lightly, "It's only natural."

"No, no, I don't want Sister Lin and Sister Lin to leave!" Jia Baoyu stomped his feet and pulled the old lady's sleeve with a face full of tears. Sister Bao has moved out, but there are still a few sisters in the family. Wouldn’t it be nice for everyone to be in one place? If you go back to the Lin family, but there are only two of them as companions, it would be too deserted and lonely. "

Mother Jia glared at Wang Xifeng in displeasure, and said to the tortured Phoenix Egg: "The Lin family has no female elders, so the two girls will have no one to teach them. Naturally, they will still live in our house, so you can rest assured."

Jia Baoyu really showed a smile when he heard the words, "The old ancestor can be sure, we can't ask Sister Lin and Sister Lin to go home and live, it's better to leave them when uncle comes to pay his respects tomorrow, I'll take care of them personally Let someone tidy up the plum garden!" After saying that, he ran away.

Mother Jia shook her head helplessly, and looked at Wang Xifeng, "You know Baoyu's temperament, but why did you provoke him on purpose?" Her words were very dissatisfied.

Mrs. Wang also looked at her coldly, with an inexplicable look in her eyes.

This niece is getting more and more wrong, she can always stab and scratch her from time to time.

"The old lady really only loves Baoyu." Wang Xifeng wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and pretended to be wronged: "I just saw that the old lady treated Baoyu better than me, so I felt sour that I wanted to bully him... The old lady didn't want to bully him... It's fine if you don't comfort me, but you still scold me? Fortunately, the old lady always says she loves me. Compared with Baoyu, I am that little cabbage that no one loves and no one loves."

Jia Mu was so coaxed by her that she couldn't laugh or cry for a while, and laughed and scolded: "I am a mother myself, why are I still jealous with children? I am getting more and more shameless, and I am not afraid of being laughed at."

There are two flowers on each table.

However, the reunion of the three fathers and daughters of the Lin family inevitably brought tears to their eyes. After finally calming down, Lin Mohan noticed that the little boy who had been standing quietly by the side was dressed in blue clothes and his figure was a little thinner. He is not too small at the age of eight, with exquisite eyebrows and fair skin, but he seems to be a little mature, looks very taciturn, not at all lively and detached like a child, like a little old man.

However, thinking of what his father said in his letter, it is understandable. The child's life experience is really miserable. He lost his parents unexpectedly when he was only four years old, and then he and his family's property were taken over by his only uncle. But the uncle and aunt's family are not kind people, they won the family's property but they are not willing to treat the family's children kindly, the patriarch's hard and soft words don't work, the family's rascals, fortunately, the people in the family can't stand it I often help him with some food, so at least the child doesn't starve to death.

Just like this, eating one mouthful from the other, and growing up to the age of eight with great difficulty, it is no wonder that he looks so mature.

Seeing that her daughter was curious, Lin Ruhai introduced with a smile: "He is your younger brother Lin Yanlang, you just call him Lang'er." Then he said to the little boy: "This is your eldest sister, whose baby name is Mohan. Your second sister, whose baby name is Daiyu."

The three of them greeted each other, unexpectedly the young and mature boy blushed at this moment, stuttered a little, obviously very nervous.

Helpless, after all, it wasn't her own birth. Naturally, she lacked the confidence to face the serious girl of the Lin family.

Lin Ruhai shook his head and laughed, but he didn't say much. After all, the child is still young, so he just needs to take care of it in the future.

The four of them sat down with cups of tea, and chatted about the daily life while eating. When it came to going to Rong Mansion to greet the old lady tomorrow, Lin Daiyu was not happy.

"I don't want to go, my grandmother looks at me more and more strangely, it's creepy."

When Lin Ruhai heard the words, a cold look flashed in his eyes, "Yu'er, don't be afraid, as a father, I will never let anyone hurt you in the slightest." If people force their family to accept this marriage by human means, don't blame him for being cruel.

Lin Daiyu burst into joy when she heard the words, and held her father's arm affectionately, feeling that as long as she stayed by her father's side, she felt full of security.

"When we go tomorrow, the old lady will definitely want us two sisters to stay, most likely because there are no female elders in the family to teach us... What rules does father have in mind?" Lin Mohan frowned slightly thinking.

Lin Ruhai replied: "I've thought about this matter for my father, because my father is not too young, and I don't plan to marry another step-wife, no one will be caught between us for nothing, and it is inevitable for me to be selfish. , All aspects of this are incidents, the harm outweighs the benefits, and it is not worth it. When I go back to the palace for my father, I will simply beg the emperor and ask for an old nanny who is proud of the palace to come back."

Lin Daiyu laughed when she heard this, "Father thought of going with my sister."

How to say that sentence, say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here.

He said that he was going to ask for a face-saving old nanny, but a slave came to report that it was Nanny Xi who was in front of Empress Xiaoyiren.

Lin Ruhai knew that Empress Xiao Yiren also had a bit of love for her own daughter when she was there, so she didn't push her too much, and immediately led her children to greet her.

"My maidservant has seen Master Lin." She bowed to the three siblings again.

"Nurse, don't be too polite."

"Why is Mammy here now? But what's the matter?"

Madam Xi looked haggard and looked older, "My mother told me before she passed away that if the eldest girl doesn't dislike her, she will ask the servants to stay by her side to serve her in the future... and these things are all It was the dowry of the empress back then, and the empress divided one part into two, leaving the silver and the farm shop to the fourth elder brother, and the jewelry, antique ornaments, etc. to the eldest girl."
